If
you have read any of my past Step2 reviews then you know how I feel about the
company. To me Step2 leads the way in creativity, design, fun and durability.
They really open up a word of possibilities to little imaginations. This
spring Step 2 has introduced a number of fun new items and I can’t wait to
share with you two of them.

This wagon puts
a twist on the classic little red wagon. Constructed in hard durable plastic, this wagon features; a latch door, two
contoured seats, under seat storage, and a deep leg well with molded-in drain
holes. It has a long handle for easy pulling that folds up and all the way down for easy
transport and storage. Two safety seat belts are also included. This classic Step2 wagon is a beautiful shade of pink, marketed exclusively for girls – of course
boys are always welcome to ride along. **Note this wagon is also available in
previous shades of green and blue

When
the wagon arrived, my husband began constructing it almost immediately, as my
daughter freaked out when she seen the box – after all not only was it a wagon, but a pink one! Assembly
took about a half hour because my husband had some trouble following the
included directions. He said they were a little vague. I should note although he can build a house from top to bottom, directions were never his thing.

Once
we were set up we took a quick trip around the block to check out how it rode.
The first thing I noticed was how easy the wagon turned. I imagined having the
weight of not just one but two children ( my son jumped in as well) would make
it a struggle turning corners. I can barely turn a shopping cart with my
daughter in tow along with all my food – Is that embarrassing to admit?? The
way the front wheels are able to spin and maneuver makeing turning this wagon a breeze!
In fact we now take the wagon down to the bus stop, to pick up my older kids
daily, as opposed to our stroller. It’s just so much easier for me to manage
and the storage is great since my daughter can’t leave the house without at
least a few toys. It’s also very hot here in S. Florida so we always take a
bottle of water with us, making the drink holder another big bonus.

Drink holder perfect for sippy cups, water bottles or a juice box

Under Seat storage for snacks or a favorite toy!

Latched door

Easy move front wheels

Overall
this wagon was a hit with us! The new pink version was a huge hit with me. As
you can imagine after three sons ( whom I love) when it comes to my daughter, pink is the only way to go. I will make mention of the 75lbs weight limit though. A lot of products from Step 2 hold up well to extra weight. Take the Extreme Coaster for example, Mama has taken a ride or two down it herself - I couldn't resist! The wheels on this wagon however, will start to displace with an overly heavy load. So keep that 75lbs limit in mind.I also put together a quick video to show you the features up close and in use. I need to again make mention of my mommy brain here though, as I refer to this wagon as the Step2 Pretty In Pink Wagon plus 2. My daughter keeps calling it her Pretty In Pink Wagon and I guess the name stuck with me! Hey, It is pretty and pink, so I went with it ;-)You can view the video here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SnIZwmsF7n0
